Our Community Charter at The Axworthy Health & RecPlex entrenches UWinnipeg’s partnership in the community. The facility’s schedule incorporates three key groups who are given a guaranteed one-third access: community groups (access at no cost to groups); UWinnipeg groups (students, Wesmen athletes, faculty and staff); and rental groups (primarily amateur sports organizations). By reserving one-third of our facility’s availability to the community, we are ensuring high quality programing where it is otherwise unavailable or unaffordable. Gifts directed to this fund will support the costs incurred by The University of Winnipeg through the RecPlex Community Charter by not charging for the service.
